Job description

A resort-like sanctuary in Kuwait’s heart. Discover a modern urban sanctuary in the heart of Kuwait City: a contemporary curation of Middle Eastern architecture, dazzling art and resort-like spaciousness, where striking sculptures seamlessly merge with traditional design. In this enclave of wonder – the first and only hotel in Kuwait to receive the prestigious Forbes Five-Star rating – you’ll find soaring rooftop restaurants, leisure facilities and the city’s largest guest rooms. Catch up with friends in the chic surrounds of Al Soor (known as La Chocolaterie of Kuwait), relax in air-conditioned cabanas by the infinity pool, ascend to a buzzing rooftop and wander the lush adjacent parkland. And with the city’s malls and souks within a few minutes’ drive, you can experience all the spoils of the city without spoiling your precious relaxation time.

• Assist in menu planning and development, ensuring consistent preparation and presentation of all food items.
• Control labor and operating expenses through effective organization, purchasing, and inventory control.
• Ensure compliance with sanitation standards and maintain kitchen cleanliness.
• Communicate effectively with staff and management to meet operational needs; attend regular meetings to ensure departmental coordination.
• Work professionally and collaboratively with co-workers and supervisors.
• Manage recipe costing, create pickup charts, and develop spreadsheets to enhance efficiency.
• Conduct frequent quality checks to maintain food standards.
• Inspire and motivate the pastry team, leading team-building activities and demonstrating skills on the floor.
• Adapt to different shifts and areas in the pastry kitchen to meet business needs and grow within the organization.

What You Bring

• Creativity, innovative ideas, strong cooking, organizational skills, and people-management abilities.
• Culinary diploma/degree preferred.
• Minimum of two years’ experience in a similar role within a five-star luxury hotel.

What We Offer

• Complimentary shared accommodation on full board basis in a high quality, well-resourced compound with Wi-Fi internet
• Complimentary nights at other FS Hotels worldwide
